Not to be confused with the 2019 Double Fine Roguelike of the same name.
This film provides examples of:
- The '80s: Fashions, slang and BMX racing. It's impossible to get any more 80s.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: The Mongoose Bicycling Company CEO is pretty much pure evil and rigs the bike races to promote his own riders.
- Falling-in-Love Montage: Between Cru and Christian as they go have a day in the woods, throw rocks, and slide into a lake fully clothed.
- Flipping the Bird: Everyone who's seen the film remembers Ray Walston flipping off the CEO.
- Long List: The announcer of the big race spends about two minutes of screen time listing the names, home towns and racing teams of every single racer.
- Moving the Goalposts: Duke Best initially declares that any resident who wants to can take part in the Helltrack qualifiers for a chance to compete in the big race. It's clearly just a ploy to placate any ruffled local feathers; when Cru actually manages to qualify, Best manufactures several previously-unmentioned rules designed purely to block him from racing by requiring company sponsorship.
- Totally Radical: Need we say more? Hell, it's even in the title!
